我是2月份考的托福,写作得了令我一直自豪至今30分,现在特别写出来秀秀,不过都过了快2个月了,实在是不能重现当时的作文了。只能大概回忆一下自己的文章脉络,但愿能给各位考托朋友们提供一点灵感吧。
当时的作文是TV 应该用于教育还是娱乐。
我的立场是TV 既要用于教育也要用于娱乐。
开头:当时是提出自己的立场啦
分论点一:TV 对于语言的教育很重要,然后我举了CCTV 9, 说明CCTV 9 给我们提供了一个纯英语的环境, 还可以进行互动。
分论点二:TV 对于科学的教育也是很重要的。论点一到论点二用了一个过渡句型,大概是:Besides CCTV 9 that provides an excellent environment for us to study English, TV is also an important media for the education of science. 然后提到了CCTV 10,然后具体又说了我从CCTV 10 中学到了什么。我好像说了宇宙的起源,还说了我们不应该连续坐在电脑面前超过半个小时,暗示ETS 的IBT 非常之不合理!! 呵呵,不知道改卷的人读出来我的INNUENDO 没有。
分论三:直接转折,转到ENTERTAIMENT。这个地方其实我觉得很多人老觉得娱乐就是湖南卫视那些娱乐圈的东西,从而限制了自己的发展空间。问大家一个问题:体育节目难道就不算娱乐了?TALK SHOW 我只是点了一下没有细说,重点放在了SOCCER 上,说自己是个SOCCER FAN,一周不看就活不了了呵呵。然后说APPRENTLY THERE IS A STRONG PUBLIC DEMAND FOR IT。于是点明了娱乐很重要。
最后:再一次点题,具体怎么点的已经忘了。SORRY。
大概就这个样子了,思路我个人觉得很明确,从分析到点交卷我用了25 分钟,剩下5分钟不想检查了,觉得也没有什么大问题, 因为当时自己的感觉就很好,我考完觉得应该28以上,30分确实有点出乎意料。
下面这篇我觉得也应该是30分呵呵, 好像我很自恋,不过我真的是这么觉得:
TOPIC: many people believe that it is very important to make a large amount of money while others are satisfied to earn a comfortable living. Analyze each viewpoint and take a stand.
Not long ago, there was a survey on my campus asking students what they expect for their future after they graduate. Almost 90% of them chose either to earn a comfortable living or to make a lot of money. Since I've been always dreaming of becoming a millionaire, I chose to make a lot of money.
In my opinion, earning a comfortable living is a basic requirement for the future. Some people are not that ambitious. They just hope that they can find a decent job that enables them to support their family and their children's education. In face of this global economic crisis, more and more people are going unemployed. Therefore lowering their standard of living would be a good option for them. I guess a lot of people choose to earn a comfortable living because they realize demanding something more is simply too hard to come true under current circumstance.
However I chose the other option because I think earning a lot of money can give myself more opportunities. For example, if I have a lot of money, then on one hand I have more chances to meet with other rich people. Therefore I have more opportunities to do business with them and attract more investment. Eventually I will be able to make more and more money. On the other hand, if I don't want to work that hard anymore, I can retire at anytime. I don't need to worry about supporting families and myself as long as I have a strong economic base. What's more, it will enable me to have a very decent living.
Earning a lot of money not only offers me more opportunities, but also benefits other people. I always sympathize with people living in poor countries. They are so poor that they don't even have right to ask for their basic living requirement, such as food and water. If I had enough money, I would donate money to them directly to help them. Of course it would not help everyone, much less solve the overall problem, but at least some people will benefit from this. In addition, I can also raise a fund to provide them education. This way they will have appropriate knowledge to improve their own situation.
In this competitive world, having a lot of money surely makes me more competent. However the fact that it allows me to help more people is what makes more appealing to me.
